Excited about the success of celebrity stamps, post office officials were rumored to have put forth a plan to institute two new types of thermometers. On these new scales, \(^{\circ} E\) represents degrees Elvis and \(^{\circ} \mathrm{M}\) represents degrees Madonna. If it is known that\(40^{\circ} E=25^{\circ} \mathrm{M}, 280^{\circ} \mathrm{E}=125^{\circ} \mathrm{M},\) and degrees Elvis is linearly related to degrees Madonna, write an equation expressing \(E\) in terms of \(M .\)
Begin by graphing the absolute value function, \(f(x)=|x| .\) Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. $$ h(x)=-|x+4| $$
You will be developing functions that model given conditions. A company that manufactures bicycles has a tixed cost of \(\$ 100,000 .\) It costs \(\$ 100\) to produce each bicycle. The total cost for the company is the sum of its fixed cost and variable costs. Write the total cost, \(C\), as a function of the number of bicycles produced. Then find and interpret
Begin by graphing the square root function, \(f(x)=\sqrt{x} .\) Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. $$ g(x)=\sqrt{x+1} $$
We saw that the percentage of people satisfied with their lives remains relatively constant for all age groups. Exercise 69 showed that the number of skiers in the United States has remained relatively constant over time. Give another example of a real-world phenomenon that has remained relatively constant. Try writing an equation that models this phenomenon.
